i have not seen it before. but damn a turbo and supercharger in a 325i!?

AlpineSwift · 08-30-2010, 01:55 AM

No way that's on stock internals. That's insane. Twin charged 325 sounds like an explosion waiting to happen to me.

So how much power is this e90 producing??

His car is super old. Ill try to look around on the forum for the thread but I heard rumors that his twin charge system wasn't actually running.

yeah i thought that as well they never had it running when they would show it at shows, it would be towed in and pushed off

Gavin@MMW · 08-30-2010, 11:58 AM

This is old, the guy did it for show it doesnt actually produce boost.

AlpineSwift · 08-30-2010, 12:10 PM

Figures. I know I had seen this before but I didn't bother to read it since I had my e46 at the time.

Me_Hi · 08-30-2010, 02:51 PM

the body work on the e46 is hideous

DimSum · 08-30-2010, 03:17 PM

It's just a show car, it puts around 300hp. Anything more, the stock transmission cannot handle.

Twincharge? He meant: NoCharge.

The front bumper ruins it for me.

TSM330i · 08-30-2010, 09:00 PM

This is REALLY old. No, it doesn't actually work. I saw a video of the engine running and the "supercharger" pulley was set up like an airconditioner pulley with a clutch. The pulley would spin, but the shaft of the supercharger was not because the clutch wasn't engaged. The "supercharger" was probably and empty housing.
Yes, I was able to locate the shop that did it (a long time ago), I contacted them several times with no answer.

Kill this thread now.

That car is complete fail. Dynos were promised (but never delivered) years ago and the community flamed the owner into submission

You can gold plate a pile of shit and call it a masterpiece, but everyone knows its still a pile. Had the dude not slapped on parts that make no difference in power yet are supposed to, yeah it could have been sweet. Its the fact that he essentially turned it into a ricer that ruins it.

xxxjecxxx · 09-01-2010, 02:22 AM

i thought i finally found something good. sorry about the repost guess it was so old i couldn't find it in the search lol

What a waste of money, i would be ashamed to own a car with a fake "supercharger" and "turbo"

OBI_agent · 09-01-2010, 03:41 PM

What a waste of space and energy on the net :P
